Osteopathic manipulation is a powerful tool that helps build the physician-patient relationship and improves patient satisfaction while easing pain and promoting healing.

Falls are the leading cause of injury in adults over the age of 65. Coupled with the aging population, it is estimated that the yearly cost for falls will be $74 billion by 2030. But there is hope - there are proven ways to reduce and prevent falls.

There are intrinsic, extrinsic and situational facts that lead to falls. Several evaluation tools are available to assess the risk of falling. Maximizing health status through improved balance, core strength, and mobility are critical to fall reduction. Eliminating environmental hazards such as clutter, proper shoes, proper lighting and more are key to improving the safety. The CDC, NIH and Council on Aging are excellent resources for physicians and patients.   CME Information: This episode was developed entirely by POMA.
